Hoi An Free Tour: Cycle The Countryside, Meet Locals & Craft Art

Step away from the bustling streets of Hoi An Ancient Town and journey into the countryside on Chiem Tay Island, where traditions, crafts, and local culture remain part of everyday life. This experience is designed for travelers seeking an authentic side of Hoi An beyond typical tourist routes.

Begin with a visit to an ancient village, learning about traditional architecture, family structures, and ancestral values. Continue to family-run workshops to explore unique crafts such as grass mat weaving, votive paper making, and mother-of-pearl inlay, showcasing remarkable skill and precision.

One highlight is visiting a local home that uses rice husks as cooking fuel and makes rice paper for “Quang Noodle,” reflecting a sustainable lifestyle. End the experience by relaxing with a drink at a peaceful countryside café surrounded by rice fields.
